  • does it support foobar2000 plugins?

    probably not, since those are windows dlls. So here’s a short list of what I’d want from a fb2k replacement:

    • a UI plugin with the power and flexibility of Facets/Refacets
    • browse library by folder structure OR tags (most only do one or the other)
    • powerful query language to actually find what I’m looking for
    • binaural stereo for headphones plugin
    • convolver
    • convert to opus and replaygain scanning
    • DR Meter
    • handle my >100k tracks library without constantly crashing or being incredibly slow

    Most alternatives I’ve tried can’t even deliver on half of those.





  • I’d recommend sway and waybar. Waybar offers some cool customizable templates. Currently I also use bemenu as a launcher and dunst/poweralertd for notifications. I make heavy use of stacked or tabbed layout during general use.

    sway has pretty decent mouse support, but for optimal productivity try to get used to the keyboard shortcuts. As soon as moving/resizing windows and changing desktops becomes muscle memory it’s a whole different ball game.
